Overview:
Since bulls pushed the price further above the upper limit of both depicted bullish channels and the 79.6% Fibonacci level, the market looked quite overbought. That is why the price failed to hold above 1.2650 - 1.2680 (previous highs) resulting in the formation of a Triple-top pattern.
Successive lower highs were established within the depicted consolidation zone enhancing the bearish side of the market.
Support levels around 1.2350 and 1.2300 (79.6% Fibonacci level) were broken after providing significant support for several weeks on the daily and weekly charts.
Daily fixation below 1.2300 cleared the way for the USD/CAD pair towards the levels of 1.2000 and 1.1940 (projection target of the recent range breakout and the depicted weekly uptrend).
That is why we expected these price levels to provide significant bullish SUPPORT. However, bearish breakout remains a probability (successive lower highs were expressed around price levels of 1.2290 and 1.2150).
On the other hand, the price zone of 1.2330-1.2350 remains significant intraday resistance for further retesting. This zone is likely to offer a low-risk sell entry while retesting.
Trading recommendations:
Risky traders could have taken a counter-trend buy entry anywhere around 1.1950. S/L should be set as daily closure below 1.1930. T/P is projected at 1.2100, 1.2270, and 1.2320.
Breakdown of the recent low at 1.1940 invalidates this bullish scenario.
However, conservative traders should wait for bullish pullback towards 1.2300-1.2340 for a low-risk sell entry.
T/P levels should be placed at 1.2220, 1.2100, and 1.1950 while S/L should be placed above 1.2250.
